Operation Potcake – the Bahamas

Operation Potcake – the Bahamas

Operation Potcake may have been the largest street dog TNR project ever undertaken. We led a coalition of the local animal welfare organizations, consisting of The Bahamas Humane Society (BHS), Bahamas Alliance for Animal Rights and Kindness (Baark!), The Veterinary Medical Association of the Bahamas (VMAB), The Department of Agriculture, Animals Require Kindness Association (ARK), The Pink Potcake, and Proud Paws. We held 5 high-volume, high-standard clinics simultaneously for 2 weeks on Nassau, Bahamas in 2013. We recruited over 200 international volunteers and sterilized over 2315 dogs. The project made the news headlines every day. At the end of the project, Prime Minister Christie held a reception for all of the incredible volunteers and in his speech, which was aired on local television, he declared that Operation Potcake was such a tremendous success he was declaring it an annual event.
